» Search Results
Your search for b16 swap returned 942 results.
Come on man, can't ask us to do your work. I'd love to help, but seriously, info on this can be found all over the boards.
First off, a 92-95 Civic EX harness would work, but ideally your want an OBD2 Integra harness (not off your 96 Civic). You also need these mounts:
Then you'll need a chipped P28 or P30 ECU with a B16B base map. You'll need to wire in the knock sensor.

Pretty much all b-series swaps are the same.

Re: (H9Omega)
And that is exactly why people are afraid of it. A B16B is NOT the best, not even close to the best, in fact it's most likely the worst. Cast dome pistons, already crappy flame travel regardless of the hemi style head, absolutely 0 room for error equals anyone with little experience burning a hole in the damn thing.
If you can gas port the pistons, know to a T what you are doing with Hondata, Crome, or one of the others, and so on, yes, it would survive turbo'd but it's far from ideal. The reason low compression is more ideal is because you can have a perfect tune today, and in a week with a healthy change in temp and humidity, it's already off. Now combine that with a no room for error engine and it equals boom. Lower compression has more relaxed needs and a broader spectrum of what will live and what won't.
If you can't make a statement without proof, it would be better not to make one at all because all you do it perpetuate the internet idiocy of people with no hands on experience and a lot of free time to read and think they know what they are talking about.

Jay_Sensing.. you are wrong sir, low compression is safer yes. But why be afraid to learn the limits. Get a professional tuner for instance a guy i know down here who who tuned a stock b16-t with a 14b turby and is making 270whp. i think there is a thread around here about boosting a CTR im gonna look.

Re: (H9Omega)
The main reason I plan on going w/the b16b is because I found the motor, lsd tranny, ecu, axles, etc. Pretty much everything I want off of this car for a grand. The bad thing about the motor is spun a rod bearing.

I am not interested in a pissing contest with you. What you are trying to use to prove a point is nothing more than more internet myths and rumors. So some guy who happens to say "it's the best" will cause you to buy off automatically and believe it? I deal in fact and hands on experience since I have been in the hot rod game since you were about 6. I am not saying this to be a smartass, I am simply stating fact. The motor wasn't built for it, it won't work out well in the end, it will take too much attention to detail to enjoy it as a street car, and a cheaper P30'd/PR3'd setup will work out a lot easier and make more reliable power with the original tune say at 70 degrees.
The PCT'd motor will need to be looked into constantly and stand the chance of detonation and death with a 20 degree weather change for the colder.

Re: (supraccordlx)
stock b16b compression is only 10.7:1. people boost k20's and jdm b18c's with higher compression and no problems. so everybody quit bitching about boosting this or that with such high compression. bottom line, it's been done over and over by many people. how well it runs is entirely on the tune and how you treat it.

spun bearings usually means a bad crank. good luck trying to find a replacement ctr crank. it's up to you.
